On the nineteenth day after transmigrating, Chen Yan finally fixes the leaking roof.
On the twentieth day, the imperial court comes to conscript soldiers.
He can't ride a horse or shoot a bow. He's never even touched a blade, let alone seen a cold-weapon battle.
As a science PhD trained in rigorous research, Chen Yan carefully assesses his chances of surviving the battlefield.
In the end, he reaches one conclusion:
Let whoever wants the job be a soldier.
Luckily, he has a life-milestone panel.
Cook a meal over a fire for the first time: +1 milestone point.
Repair a house for the first time: +1 milestone point.
Kill someone for the first time: +10 milestone points.
Survive an encounter with a cultivator for the first time...
+30 milestone points.
And so Chen Yan starts spending points, practicing martial arts, and running for his life.
Later, he meets a young woman.
She's rich, beautiful, can ride a horse, has excellent marksmanship, and loves sticking her nose into other people's business.
Chen Yan takes one look and decides:
Trouble.
So he decides to keep his distance.
Later, they investigate old cases together, roam the martial world, go to war, and throw the entire imperial court into chaos.
Many years later, he holds the young woman in his arms.
The final line of gray text on the panel finally lights up.
[The road home has opened.]
Will he still choose to return?
